Sensation: skin contains many different sensory receptors that send information to the brain regarding touch, pressure, temperature, and pain 4. Waste disposal: small amount of waste products, such as excess salt, is excreted from the body in sweat Page Ref: 49 Learning Obj.: 5-2 Taxonomy: Understanding Question Type: Anatomy and Physiology
